I stepped away from Klaus to avoid suspicion. "Erm, Madam do you know what happened to the other patient in this room" he said putting on an accent."Oh do you mean the other ugly little girl with a big mouth or the ugly little boy with a big mouth?" said Esmé with a wicked smile, she then grabbed me away from Klaus and put her hand over my mouth.

"Paging Dr Faustus, you are desperately needed in the operating theater" announced Count Olaf on the intercom "in precisely 5 minutes, we will preform the worlds first cranioectomy on a teenage girl". I started panicking and fussing for Esmé to let me go even more than before. "What does he mean?" Klaus said still in his Dr Faustus voice. "You heard him didn't you?" Esmé said "you're needed in the operating theatre for the worlds first cranioectomy". "Well, cranio means head and ectomy means to remove something" Klaus gasped and Esmé pulled out a big knife "You know very big words, you must be a very good doctor" and strapping me back into a wheelchair she ushered Klaus out of the room and pushed me down the hallway with them.

"If your wondering about my big, enormous knife, the answer is yes it is incredibly sharp and with one swipe" then she started making a harrowing cutting sound as she reached for the elevator bell. "Where is Duncan?" I said to her once in the elevator, "Duncan? Oh the annoying little orphan, he is with Laura V Bleediotie in the operating theatre" she laughed. After an eternity of me and Klaus exchanging worried looks while Esmé talked about herself we arrived at the operating theatre of Heimlich Hospital. In the operating theatre we saw Violet laying in the middle of the room with a large crowd surrounding her in that crowd was doctors, nurses, Volunteers Fighting Disease, Mr Poe and Olaf's henchmen with Duncan standing beside them.

"Ah, Dr Faustus, I've been eagerly awaiting you and so has our little sleeping beauty here" said Olaf in a disguised voice "Well, hurry along Dr Faustus, the anesthesia won't last forever".

Esmé held him back, "Don't forget this, you'll need it, I do hope she doesn't wake up in the middle of the operation" she gave him the knife and he ran to Violet.
